3.00 Credits
Using St. Louis as the starting point, and through extensive walking tours and discussions, the course gradually reveals to students an interrelated set of histories that have given shape both to St. Louis specifically and to American metropolitan landscapes generally. The walking tours take something of a core sample of St. Louis, both geographically and historically. Along the core sample, the students encounter communities old and new, large and small, rich and poor, rising and falling, heterogeneous and homogeneous, successful and unsuccessful, flourishing and devastated. Through these tours and readings and discussions, crucial questions concerning the ethics of architecture within larger social and ethical frameworks begin to take shape. The students' firsthand observations and reading are further reinforced and challenged through visits with and/or reviews by a wide range of people from the various communities-people who collectively represent not just a wide range of opinions, but often diametrically opposed opinions, as well. Architects build walls, literally and figuratively, and this course explores what happens on the other side of the wall, literally and figuratively, and how the act of building in the middle of people's lives-and questions of where, how, and for whom-affect and are affected by the people on both sides of the wall. CBTL course.

Designed to build upon the investigations of Arch 121, Community Building, Building Community, this course explores the political, economic, and social dynamics of place. The place in question is most often the urban laboratory of St. Louis. The first investigation is into metropolitan political system dynamics, especially as they relate to fundamentals of governance, land use, environmental law, and other regulatory policies. Next, the class analyzes economic theories and results, specifically the history and evolution of the free market as well as contemporary real-estate dynamics. The final inquiry is an examination of the American social landscape and, in particular, the tensions and opportunities inherent within the built environment. The course is structured around directed readings, guest lectures by community leaders, and direct engagement in a community that is determined by the class. The culmination of the semester is a critical understanding of a single St. Louis community, substantiated with thorough research and detailed morphological mapping.
